Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 9513. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. July 14, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Piston-rods.-In cooling the piston-rods of gasengines by means of water jackets, the jacket tube is fixed to the rod at one end and loose at the other, to allow relative expansion. Fig. 2 shows an arrangement in which the piston-rod is cooled internally as well. Water enters at E through one of the cross-head pins, and, flowing through the internal bore of the piston-rod, meets a plug n<1> of smaller bore. The greater part of the'water is thus compelled to pass through ports b<5>. After passing through the interior of the piston, the water meets a second plug and repeats the above action, finally flowing away at Q.

Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 11,946. Regan, J. A. June 7. Seats.-A cover automatically falls over an outdoor seat, to ensure dryness thereof. Figs. 1 and 4 show the application to seats with fixed backs, as used on omnibuses. A rigid waterproof cover a, Fig. 1, is pivoted to the seat frame at b, and is normally closed in the position shown by means of a bar-like counterweight c. By raising it to the position shown in dotted lines, the seating-surface d is exposed. Fillets e of wood, leather, &c. may be used to prevent the fingers from being trapped. In the case of two adjacent seats with separate covers, the contiguous inner edges of the covers are provided with yielding strips of rubber &c. which allow the covers to be raised, and at the same time prevent damage to clothing &c. and give a water-tight joint. The rigid covers may be replaced by frames, Fig. 4, carrying sheets a<1> of tarpaulin or other water-proof material which overlap at a<2>. Fig. 5 shows the application to a seat with a reversible back as used on tramcars. Two oppositely-directed frames g are employed with a common cover a', which is secured to the end bars g' only. For use, the sitter raises that frame which has its pivot b adjacent to the seat back h, the other remaining in its normal position. If rigid covers are used, the points of attachment g<1> are made to coincide approximately with the pivots b. The flexible covers may have eyelets to allow the surface water to drain away between the seat slats.

Title: Improvements in Ball Bearings.
Inventor: DIPLOCK BRAMAH JOSEPH
Filed: 1907-11-15
Granted: 1908-11-12
Abstract: 25,378. Diplock, B. J. Nov. 15. Ball and roller bearings. -Relates to ball a n d roller bearings for reciprocating parts, such as the spokes of vehicles described in Specifications No. 14,710, A.D. 1899, and No. 17,502, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Locomotives &c.]. The ball or roller paths in the spokes a and guides b<1>, Fig. 1, are provided with wearing surfaces consisting of stripsd, Fig. 10, of manganese or other self-hardening steel, which fit in dovetail grooves or are secured by wedge-shaped locking- devices f, and are spaced apart as shown. The faces of the strips d are curved to the same radius as the balls h. One of the paths is adjustable by means of eccentrics j fixed upon bolts k, the heads of which have radial holes to receive a spring locking-pin. The lower bolt k bears against a slipper o capable of sliding in the guide b<1>. Each set of balls is carried in a travelling cage comprising a body p and tubes q, formed with eyes to embrace the balls h. An opening in the body p contains an elastic ball or roller s, which is of larger diameter than the balls h to prevent the cage from dropping when the balls are relieved from pressure. Two rollers or balls may take the place of the single ball s. Sticks of graphite placed in the tubes q are pressed by springs against the balls to lubricate them. Projections on the cage and the spoke a restore the cage to its proper position when it is overrun by the spoke. Fig. 14 shows a modification in which the ball tracks b<1> are rendered self-adjusting by means of springs 4, mounted in hollow bosses l which fit into pockets 2 on the guides b. The springs 4 are weaker than the springs 6 which tend to keep the slides 7 central in the feet of the spokes, so that the paths b<1> are forced against their stops before the full pressure is taken by them.
